How did you get your depression?

emotional pain
mental suffering

My mother was undiagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder until I was 20, growing up was nothing but yelling and fighting. Telling me I wasn't doing it right or not good enough. My bio father was an abusive drunk who sent my step mom to the hospital almost killing her. I was raped by one of my best friends when I was 18. But I haven't seen my bio dad in three years, my step mom is alive and well, and my mother is now on medication that has helped her regulated her feelings. I've found a man that has helped me through my darkest self. Although I still battle the sadness every day it's slowly becoming easier to ignore all the bad

not being occupied/ sitting around too much doing nothing can make ANYONE think of negative / depressing thoughts , OCCUPY your mind as much as possible i work alot at my job at warehouse so that keeps me very occupied & long hours !
this can END your depression go for a walk / light exercises when you do this it makes your brain produce & release chemicals that makes stress, depression & anxiousness/ anxiety ALL VANISH for HOURS or all day!

i hope this helps you as much as its helped me i really really care ive spent 1000s of hours reading about health and im a Mod of a health forum with alot of traffic

A lot of reasons.

I always new something was wrong with me since I was a kid... I didn't know what it was though... I just always felt sad. When I got to 8th grade is when I learned what the term "depression" really meant. I've always had it, along with Panic disorder and Anxiety...,.

Years of psychological torment, feelings of uselessness, more & more stress from work. How about you?

My anxiety....

You assume a lot, I don't have depression, rather a sunny cheery disposition.

I looked into the abyss and it looked back.
